my exams are finally over! =D i'm elated.

i'm starting to watch the project superstar under the influence of my aunt and sis.

if i were the contestants, i wouldn't say that the results don't matter and that it is the process which is the essence. cut the crap. why do you join the competition then? and what's with all those bitter faces soaked with streams of tears? if it doesn't matter, then don't cry. can't they just cry and say i mind that i lose, i'm taking it very hard, but it doesn't matter now that i'm out, i'll try harder next time?

i also feel that all those who don't speak chinese and who don't listen to mando-pop should just go home and rot themselves away. even if they win the competition, they aren't a part of the mando-pop trend! they take part in the competition for fame, for money, for anything. they are dashing the hopes of many who sincerely love mando-pop and are working hard towards their goal. THIS IS A CHINESE SONG COMPETITION!

those who hate chinese, you think you can speak english? record down your daily conversation and listen to how many lors, lahs and the wrong sentence structure you've made.

=D i'm able to meet yan tomorrow! i'm looking forward to it.

i've finished reading an agatha christie book titled curtain. was trying hard to curb the temptation of picking up the book, but to no avail. it was just me beside me and it's tedious not to read it. exciting book from a different point of view...

THANKS YAN, FOR THE PRESENT! it's darn challenging. it seemed correct, but when the whole thing's done, it's apparent that it's wrong. =( i have been trying for hours. guess i have to wait till my exams are over before i try again...

Happened to see this on MSN this early morning. It's very sweet. 50 ways of proposal. I chose some which I think are sweet... =)


PERFECTLY PRIVATE (PLEASE!)
Draw a bath for the two of you and place a floating candle or rubber ducky in the middle with a ring tied around its neck. Make a path of roses leading to the tub.

Speaking of paths, turn off all the lights in your apartment and make a trail of candles that leads to a circle of votives positioned around a ring.

Send your sweetie on a treasure hunt. Start with a clue at home. Then send him or her on a tour of your favorite spots -- all over town, or just around the house. When he or she gets to the last hint, the treasure should be you offering up a ring or other sentimental token. They won't need another clue to figure out what you mean.

Tie a red velvet ribbon from one spot in your home to another. Attach little notes recalling perfect moments in your relationship along the way. You wait at the last stop, ring in hand.

You needn't propose with a diamond ring. Buy any jewelry piece or a watch and inscribe it with, "Marry me."

SURPRISE!
A surprise trip is sure to set the mood. Blindfolds and intricate secret plans (you'll have to pack his or her bags) are a must to increase the thrill factor. Once you've reached your destination, pop the question.

Is sweetie a deep sleeper? Slip the ring on his or her finger while they're dozing and wake them with champagne and strawberries. The gesture will just seem romantic -- until they discover a new piece of jewelry adorns them!

THE WAY TO A LOVED ONE'S HEART (THROUGH THE STOMACH!)
Food is a tempting addition to any successful proposal! Spell out, "Will You Marry Me?" in M&Ms, jellybeans, or Hershey's Kisses on the kitchen table, bed, or coffee table. Send him or her in to read it; when they say yes, you can toast your future with a mutual sugar rush!

Freeze the ring in a homemade Popsicle, and give your sweet two treats in one!

Surprise your honey with an intricate gift basket. Pile in yummy delicacies -- the best chocolate, caviar, coffee -- but don't limit yourself to food. You could also include silk slippers, a book or CD. Hide the ring among all these wonderful presents (in its box, so it doesn't get lost in the goodies).

If you're dining in a fancy restaurant, ask the wait staff to write, "Will You Marry Me?" in chocolate sauce around the rim of his or her dessert plate.

Serve a dinner of aphrodisiacs at home and place the ring inside an oyster shell.

Make your intended breakfast in bed. Propose to him or her while they feel ultra-cozy and pampered.

LET THEM SEE THE KID IN YOU
Spell your proposal out in glow-in-the-dark star stickers on your ceiling. Get into bed, turn the lights off, and wait for the inevitable gasp.

Write "Will You Marry Me?" on the underside of a kite and take flight one warm, breezy afternoon.

Spell out your proposal with refrigerator magnets.

HOT IDEAS UNDER THE SUN
Go to the beach with your honey of honeys. Casually build a sandcastle (at a safe distance from the ocean!), and place the ring on the highest turret. Invite him or her to admire your handiwork, then pop the question.

Go for a sunset sail and propose at sea.

While your beloved naps on the beach, sneak away and spell out your intention in seashells. Then go for an afternoon stroll and let the shells do all the work.

Plan a scavenger hunt through a local park. Pack a picnic, and when you get to the park, send him or her along to find the first clue. Once they're out of sight, make yourself the last clue in a romantic spot with champagne on ice and ring in hand.

FLOWER POWER
Flowers always charm people -- what else exists solely to look beautiful? (Except your fiance, of course!) String the ring on a ribbon and use it to tie a bouquet of wonderful flowers (daffodils, tulips, lilies, or whatever reminds you of him or her) together.

Go for symbolic power. Instead of the standard, albeit lovely, bouquet of roses, present him or her with a potted orchid. Put the ring beside the stem (in its box, so it doesn't get lost in the Spanish moss). The orchid will last a long time, will always be regal, and will bloom time and time again (just like your love).

Plant a colorful window box of forget-me-nots for him or her. Write one word each from the phrase "Will You Marry Me?" on four garden markers.

Sneak into his or her home or office armed with rose petals. In the biggest letters space will allow, spell out, "Will You Marry Me?"

AWWW, SO SWEET!
Propose in a different language, or lots of different languages -- starting with French, the language of love.

Buy a baby animal that he or she has always wanted (bunny, kitten, puppy) and loosely tie the ring around its neck. Make a commitment to the pet and each other. Or, substitute a stuffed animal -- still fuzzy, but less maintenance!

Play Hangman and have the phrase be "Marry Me."

here's something extracted from xiaxue's blog..

question 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

i'm kind of crazy today. i'm in a shopping mood because i'll soon be getting pocket money again. i don't mind going back to school because i'd still be me.

i bought 2 pairs of earrings today and helped my sis pay for her earring and nail-polish. and i paid for the cash-card to photocopy notes. in only 2 hours, i'd spent 16 bucks. i'm just in the mood~~~~ =P

A Day at the Zoo

i'd forgotten when was the last time i've been in a zoo, but since there're free tickets, i might as well go.

i saw something extraordinary. i saw an elephant shitting!!! =P that elephant even faced us with his/her backside and argh, all the dung just came out. PLOP, PLOP, PLOP! OMG! that's a lot of shit. it shitted in the water and it had used it long nose to spout the water to itself before shitting. i wonder how the zoo-keeper clean the shit and how clean the water was. yucks. i'd better stop now. lol!

i was so engrossed yesterday talking about the stalker that i forgot to mention what the fortune-teller had said about me. a few things...

#no. 1
i'd have 2 children, a boy and a girl.
amazing. that's what i had wanted. and i hope the girl's the eldest. 2 is enough, i don't want to become a sow. =P

#no. 2
i'd live to around 85.
that's a long time. i'm only 17 now, which means, i'll have 65 years more. wow! whatever am i going to do with all the time?

#no. 3
i'm not gifted with a good brain, lest i work hard, it's difficult for me to get in university. the thing is, i have a rich social life, when people called me out, i'd just go and that distracts me from studying hard.
that's so "encouraging". haven't i been working hard enough? it's not my fault that i'm born with a bad brain. and i know the part about having lots of friends. they're the ones who will accompany me through the rest of my 65 years.

#no. 4
i was an artist in my previous life.
whatever that means...

i wasn't there at that point of time, so everything was heard from my sis n mum. he said my sis will die at 7o plus, will have 3 children, her husband will die from overworking because he'll be working so hard to fulfil all my sis's wishes, my sis only gets to see 2 of her children at her deathbed, she's a scholar in her previous life, she has to work hard, just like me because we aren't born with damn good brains blah blah blah.

Happy Shopping Day! there goes my one day of studying day. but i've gotten myself a new bag and took several photos with sis. =D walked the whole of bugis village and parco bugis junction.

i went to the library today, in search of the 'mythical' econ books. i walked round and round and round till my head started to spin. after a few rounds, i started to notice a guy in white shirt and jeans with a white cap following me. damn. maybe it's due to oversensitivity of my nerves. i walked to try to find the books again. he followed, staying at an opposite shelf. i shifted to the next shelf, and he moved to the next shelf too. i moved another time and found him imitating my actions. he couldn't possibly be stalking me, i thought to myself. he must have had eyes stamped with shit.

i still couldn't find the book and found it weird with the guy coming nearer to me, thus, decided to walk away. and i couldn't believe i walked to the singapore section. after a while, i saw the guy again!

so i decided to test it out and went to the history section. i saw the guy coming again. argh! Freak! he didn't see me initially and was looking between the chinese books shelves, which were beside the history section. i was frantically messaging my sis, wanting to know where she was so that i could go and find her. then he went to the shelf opposite me and then walked slowly to stand beside me. FREAK! i walked away from him and decided to head for the mrt station. while going down the escalator, i saw him walking towards the escalator too. God damn it! i even ran down the escalator. thank god i lost him in the crowd.

but after the shopping spree, my mood lightened up and here i am, HaPpY aS a LaRk!!! =D

千年之恋(F.I.R.)

竹林的灯火
岛国的沙漠
七色的国度　
不断飘逸风中

有一种神秘　
灰色的漩涡　
将我卷入了迷雾中

看不清的双手
一朵花传来　
谁经过的温柔

穿越千年的伤痛　
只为求一个结果　
你留下的轮廓指引我　
黑夜中不寂寞 　

穿越千年的哀愁　
是你在尽头等我　
最美丽的感动会值得　
用一生　守候

exciting day of chasing after idols. sis had wanted to see energy at lot 1 so i just followed along.

after that, we proceeded to imm. now for my turn to chase monkeys. =P my mum said in mandarin, "zui wan xing xing yao zui hou zi." xing xing= gorillas or stars and hou zi=monkeys. my turn! FIR!!!



=D they sang a total of 5 songs. faye has a powerful voice.

while going up the stage for their autographs, either i was standing too near to the guy in front of me or the guy was simply moving too slow, he kicked my calf while he was going up the stairs. opps! there went his slipper. it dropped down one stair and dropped through the whole of the man-made stairs and down it went. =P i kept saying sorry to him though come to think of it now, it might not be exactly be my fault. =P LoL.. a policewoman standing at the side had to help him take his slipper up. so that's why she stood there for... =P

i'm so happy! finally gotten their autographs!!

i met up with my best friends. i met chuz while waiting for the bus and we were late together. on the bus, she was telling me about her cdc duties. she recounted that everything happened except anybody fainting.

there's this incident of this boy who had to leave because he was having a fever. while packing his stuffs, he was crying. he cried even harder when his friends consoled him. what's the problem with guys nowadays? i thought being able to go home earlier was a happy thing? =P

another incident, which i didn't find it as near funny, was that at 2.30am, chuz got this casualty whom claimed that some liquid from the light stick had gone into her eyes. chuz said she had to go to another block to get an eye-pad for the girl, but when she returned, she found no one there. she said, "it's either that the girl had gone blind or didn't care anymore."

the most interesting of all was to find yourself talking too excitedly and banged your head against a tv. chuz said there's a guy who sat under a tv, or is it near the tv, whatever.. and he talked so agitatedly that he actually banged his whole head againt the tv and it bled. i was laughing damn hard when she told me that. that's very idiotic. i hope he wasn't talking to his admirer at that point of time.

kbox was fun and the people there didn't even chase us out at 3.30pm though our lunch set was supposed to end at 2pm. we earned 1 and a half hours' time more. =D we were totally high, nearly tearing the box down and blasting the music so loud i couldn't hear myself sing. or should i say, i was singing so loud i nearly blasted the speakers.

i guess playing mahjong after kbox session is becoming our usual routine. jane and chuz lost all their money to yan. and both of them owed debt at the end of last round. after adding in the debt which chuz owed me, i neither win nor lose. phew!~

yan's dog was pervertic... her father was telling us that their dog would bark if his friends went to their house, but when we went there, the dog was licking everybody. jane kept giggling because the dog was licking her calves and making her ticklish. the moment she started to giggle, we knew the dog was playing with her. =P the dog seemed to like her the most because it kept finding her. perhaps the dog knew jane was wearing a skirt, which she indeed was wearing one.. that's too bad because jane's the only person who was wearing a skirt...

Camp Day #No.2

we had water-bomb games. before playing, we had to fill the water bags up. filling up the bags were boring and 150 water bombs actually need a very long time to fill. though the burden of filling up the bombs were shared by the whole group, we still took quite a duration to finish the task.

water game time! each group has to build a 'house' in their territory and the boundaries are made up of tables and chairs. the facilitators will make sure that if one wants to cross the boundary, one has to crawl under the table. in the house, there'll be a plastic bag to catch the water bombs which other groups have to throw bombs in. the more bombs in, the better. each group has to attack and defend their house at the same time.

our group was the smallest and my group leader, being a member of the gay club, along with another 2 gay club members, decided to ally against the 4th group. but somehow, our group had agreed to ally with that 4th group. so, in the end, it's kind of messy. my group defended most of the time in the end... -_-"""

nevertheless, being able to play cooling water on a hot weather served a nice sensation.

at night, we danced and sang and after 12am, everybody gathered to play polar bear. at 3am plus, i couldn't hold out any longer and down i went... zZzz!

Camp Day #No. 1

we were divided into different groups at first. then we played a few games, attempting to squeeze the most people on a piece of cloth. my god. it's crazy.

i like the amazing race. my group ran like mad while the other groups sashayed their way and even had time to shop. i bet their facilitators gave them clues to help them. =P anyway, it was quite fun and we had to do some really crazy stuffs. =)

i have been watching this program in kids central at 10.30 am for the past few days. it's backyard science. found out a few stuffs. if you leave your milk out in the sun for a few hours, clusters of the milk will appear. it's the same as when you add vinegar to your milk. that's gross. so if you want to leave your milk out in the bright sun, remember that you're actually drinking vinegar with your milk.

and i've learnt a way to electrocute people using one finger. you wear your shoes and rub your shoes against the carpet on the floor. rub for a few times and then walk to a person and use your hand to touch the person. ta da! electrocuted! *hee*

i know how to keep a canned drink cool at the beach too. but it takes quite a bit of hard work and you have to bring containers and a flower pot, so i don't think it's that feasible. afterall, you can easily buy a canned drink at the stores at the beaches, can't you?

at night, i had a wedding dinner at some grand hotel. so much for my sis publicizing for that hotel's food. other than the appertizer, i found nothing to my liking. my mum said the food she had eaten during her friend's wedding was tastier. but still, the food wasn't nice.

when we got to our assigned table, i found out that our soveneirs were gone. we were late, but that doesn't mean they can clear the table. i guess the people working there must have wanted the souveneirs themselves. my mum asked the manager for them. bravo! she even managed to get 2 key-chains alone. =D my mum rox!

and the waiters and waitresses there were there for decorations. they served drinks in cups rather than refilling after you've finished. i suppose the auntie serving my table had something against me. she didn't give me any drinks after the first cup despite giving others 2-3 cups after that. my mum decided to take it herself.

the next time i had wanted a drink, my mum tried to call for the waiter. one of the two waiters she waved to has seen her. it's apparent and I SAW THAT TOO! guess the waiter didn't really bother and just continue talking to the person beside him and treated as if he didn't notice my mum waving.

so much for being a 5-star hotel.

then i had a treat from mummy as a celebration for my birthday. kfc. i chose that. weird me. i had the sudden craving for chickens.

i guess i'm too obsessed about making notes nowadays that i actually dreamt of them last night. argh! now, what did i dream of? oh! i still forget. it must be the doings of jan and rena. both of them are so crazy about zapping notes that i suggest we should ask rena to go library there and do cip work and be the photocopying lady. she can earn CIP hours and do her work at the same time. *evil laughter*
